Hi All, I am a new member but have been supplying Thomas & Friends Trains and Accessories for nearly 11 years and yes we have seen a hell of lot of changes over the years.
Take Along has become Take-N-Play - Learning Curve lost the Wooden railway to Mattel, and Tomy Road and Rail became Trackmaster which became Trackmaster Revolution.
Some changes have been good, personally I think the best Wooden Trains were the Learning Curve ones that came with the Character Cards for each engine.
Anyway hope we can help give you some insight into new releases or information on when items become unavailable.
Look forward to hearing from.
Peep Peep Thomas
